Hey momma bear! How are you today? thank you so much for the pillows and blanket and stamps! I don't know how i'll get it over to the mission though, ill figure something out! How is everything? I hope and pray all is well! I keep yal in my prayers! I am really glad to hear you and CJ are keeping up the praying! I love it here mom, so much to learn! My comp is Elder Levi, he is coming to Florida as well! So yesterday I got to help host the new missionaries! It was quite the experience seeing all of them, and all the families show their love, really touching! Mom thank you so much for everything you have done for me! You are the very best! Love you so much MOM! I miss ya!  Elder Levi and I are sharing a room with Elder Cluff and Elder Stutz who are aweome missionaries! They are  going to FLorida too! THere is a Brother Goodman in our Branch Presidency! he is Bob Goodmans cousin! and I met with him for an interview and he told me that I need to ask you to put at least 50$ a month to my mission, Mom please please please use my money! That is why it is there, he told me to do it, so i absolutley need too! you can deposit the whole of it too! Either way! It just needs to be put toward the mission! :D Hey I need to get Che's address from you too please! :D My pday here is going to be thursday's and ill be emailing around 10 or about 12 30 1ish not fer sure! I had an awesome experience at the temple today, I am trying to look through the scriptures for someone I can relate too in my developing Christlike attributes, and I was reading Joseph Smith history and I don't know why or what but it stuck out to me and I got a much more personal feeling to who he was. anyways cool experience, there is also a painting here of JS and uncle steve looks so much like him! it was crazy! Tell CJ four square is super fun! I love it! I'll be sending pictures hopefully today in the mail. Tell CJ thank you for the Book of Mormon he put in my luggage, it was wonderful to read that, it really helped me! Brother Goodman told me as well to set a goal to read the Book of Mormon everyday a few pages a day for the rest of my life! So I started reading it again! Elder Manly is our DL he is awesome! This Elder is so humble and patient, I knew it would be him who was called as DL when he got up to bear his testimony or 2nd or 3rd day! We got to teach our practice investigator that we have 2 times a week, that was on Tuesday and me and Elder Levi did alright, we ran out of time but did a real good job. Thank you so much for the prayers! Tell people to write me please! I now understand what CJ meant about getting letters! I need letters! lol please remind people to send me some! Tell Che, Chris, Brandon, Hunter, Jenna and CJ I love them! Tell dad too! I'll be trying to send him a letter today! I love you momma so much! Thank you thank you thank you! With all the love I can give, Elder West! ;D
